Quality education has been the backbone of development in most countries of the world, because it
propels both economic and social emancipation of a nation. Therefore, the means of providing
education should be effective to promote quality sustenance in order to develop the educational

higher possible best. It is against this backdrop that the study assessed the effects of N-Teach
Programme on quality education in Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC). The study adopted
